As Midsomer Norton Town Council approaches the end of its first year following the 2015 elections, preparations are underway for the Annual Town Meeting, which will take place on Monday, 25th April at 7 p.m. in the Assembly Room at the Town Hall.

The meeting gives an opportunity for the Council to update the town’s residents on the progress it has made since last year’s meeting, whilst setting out what its aims are for the future.

As usual, the Council is hoping that resident electors will come along to the meeting, following a good turnout last year. “It has been yet another busy year where we have been taking forward a number of projects,” said Cllr Paul Myers, Mayor of Midsomer Norton. “Our Annual Town Meeting offers a great opportunity to provide everyone with a full update on the wide range of projects that we have been working on, as well as taking questions on the issues from residents.”

Midsomer Norton continues to face challenges and opportunities. Trying to shape development and economic regeneration in the town will continue to test the Council’s skills and its determination to deliver what people want. And there are potentially exciting times ahead for the Town Council, as they bring their efforts together to try to progress the Town Park now that they have acquired the land and the transfer of vital community assets, such as the Town and Orchard Halls and bring forward projects on additional green space.

Midsomer Norton’s Town Meeting will be followed at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, 10th May by the Council’s Annual Meeting, at which Councillors will elect the Mayor for the coming year and allocate Committee, Working Group and project responsibilities. For details, visit: www.midsomer nortontowncouncil.co.uk
